I've read various tutorials and posts regarding changing the algorithm used to encrypt my private PGP keys. However, nothing I have tried seems to work. I am using gpg4win:

This would seem to suggest that the key is still encrypted using AES128 (algo 7) and a SHA1 hash. Further, inspecting the contents of $GNUPGHOME/private-keys-v1.d/ shows files with the following lines > ... > (protected openpgp-s2k3-ocb-aes ((sha1 ... > ... What am I missing? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
